What are the functions of the hair?

Answer 1

Hair on our bodies exists as a part of an evolutionary function. Normally, the purpose of hair is to protect some sort of system, function or organ on or in our bodies. Our hair plays an important role in overall health

Hair on our heads serves a bunch of purposes. First, it creates a sun-shield that prevents sunburn and overexposure to the sun. Second, it also provides insulation--the majority of our body heat escapes through our heads (an important part of temperature regulation), but the hair provides insulation when the body temperature begins to drop. Both eyebrows and eyelashes serve a practical, defensive purpose. Eyebrows capture sweat beads from our foreheads before they can reach our eyes and impair our vision. Eyelashes exist to catch particles that could potentially harm the delicate orbs

Answer 2

First, it slows the exchange of heat with the environment (insulation). Second, specialized hairs (whiskers or "vibrissae") have a sensory function, letting the owner know when it is in contact with an object in its external environment. These hairs are often richly innervated and well-supplied with muscles that control their position. Third, through their color and pattern, hairs affect the appearance of a mammal. They may serve to camouflage, to announce the presence of especially good defense systems or to communicate social information. Fourth, hair provides some protection, either simply by providing an additional protective layer or by taking on the form of dangerous spines that deter predators
